Gas stove ban is latest ‘right-wing conspiracy’ PROVEN TRUE?

Remember when the far-left ridiculed conservatives concerning an alleged gas stove ban? Energy Secretary Granholm even said during an interview last month that the idea was ‘ridiculous.’ Well, it appears the rumors are not so ‘ridiculous’ anymore. In this clip, Glenn details new evidence that the gas stove ban WILL happen. But the far-left will go even further than banning certain kitchen appliances, Glenn says: ‘They're going to go for the total ban on gas…All of it. That is the goal.’

GLENN: So let's just -- let's just look at a few things here. Do you remember the banning of gas stoves?

STU: The conspiracy theory?

Yeah. There was a huge conspiracy theory about that on the right, if I'm not mistaken.

They thought -- somehow they came up this wild idea, that suddenly, the government was going to try to ban gas stoves. This thing that had been cherished by every foody on the left, this entire time.

GLENN: Right. I know. This is -- this is CNN.

This is how they reported on it. They were kind of jokesters with it. The Biden administration has come under fire this week, due to an overcooked fear, that it is planning a nationwide ban on gas stoves.

STU: That's precious.

GLENN: The claim sparked by comments from consumer product safety commission official, published Monday.

That any option is on the table, when it comes to regulating gas stoves, amid growing health concerns over the appliances.

There is no growing health concern. None. None.

Okay.

In the days after discussion online a vote, images of government dragging its four burner cook tops from homes, and social media users sharing memes of gas stoves with the text like, don't tread on me.

STU: Oh, those stupid people.

GLENN: Well, the White House said, it would not support a ban. And the commission and independent agency says, no such ban is in the works.

Okay. Well, apparently, you have to go in the way, way babbling machine, to remember a month ago, when they said, this was a conspiracy.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: An analysis published earlier this month, President Joe Biden's Energy Department acknowledged that roughly half of all gas stoves in the US market today, would not meet its proposed cooking appliance efficiency regulation. E&E News reports on Friday, as a result, these stoves would not be eligible to purchase, says the Energy Department.

Energy Department spokesperson Jeremy Ortiz dismissed concerns over the proposal, saying half the gas stoves would remain, if this standard is finalized as proposed.

STU: So only half of them would go away. Oh, that's -- first of all, not even worth commenting on. If only half of gas stoves would go away, that's a total conspiracy theory, to even bring it up.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: I assume that's exactly where it ends.

GLENN: Right. Well, the Energy Department's emission comes roughly a month after US consumer product safety commissioner Richard Trumka told a Biden appointee, said to people a gas stove ban was on the table. It's a hidden hazard!

STU: Wait.

GLENN: Any option is on the table.

STU: Wait. So that was --

GLENN: Products that can't be made safe, have to be banned.

STU: That was the genesis of the conspiracy theory, when the guy said it.

That seems like a pretty good conspiracy theory. When the person is actually saying the thing that the conspiracy theory is saying.

GLENN: Yeah.

Now, you were right, only half. Only half.

STU: You have the other half.

GLENN: But the association of home appliance manufacturers, is arguing, the proposed rule would prohibit a much larger proposition of gas stoves from being sold.

It's not even worth mentioning these people are crazy. You know, they've got some other agenda. You know, big cigar smoking types.

You know, the vice president who clearly smokes a cigar. Jill Notini pointed out to a December Energy Department test, of 21 gas stove models. All, but one of those models failed to meet the proposed rules' efficiency standards.

STU: So about half?

GLENN: No.

She says, that shows that it would nullify about 96 percent of the gas stove market.

STU: So you still have the other 4 percent?

What a gift from our government, and our betters. To allow us to still have that 4 percent. You know, and what a conspiracy theory it was, to say they would be banned. There's still 4 percent of them left. Ninety-six percent go away, but 4 percent remain for a limited time.

GLENN: Right.

STU: So it was a conspiracy theory. They were right.

GLENN: Right. And we're not sure about that 4 percent. But probably.

STU: Possibly, maybe.

GLENN: Now, this is just something that is just a growing concern.

This is not -- this is all organic.

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: You know, you pull back the curtain.

And you will you'll see three guys there, who founded rewiring America.

But that's just an environmental advocacy, dark money group.

You know, nothing to see there.

STU: Started from the grassroots.

GLENN: Well, not really. They're the ones behind the push to regulate and get rid of gas stoves.

And they seem to have a significant financial stake in the green energy push.

STU: What?

GLENN: Yeah. They started rewiring America. They funded rewiring America in 2020.

And they all pursued wind, solar, electrification. And energy efficiency ventures. So they put millions of dollars into this.

And if they can just put America off of all fossil fuels. They'll be rich. And they're hauling in all kinds of money. It is -- it's great.

STU: And maybe just moving the percentages to -- let's say half would go a long way to --

GLENN: Yeah. But imagine 94 percent.

You see, that's their goal. Their goal is to get us entirely on to electricity.

STU: And that's, of course, produced by elves.

GLENN: Of course. Yeah, yeah, you've seen the Keebler elves. They've stopped making cookies.

Sorry, guys. Stopped making cookies. Now making energy.

Now, there is another unfortunate story. You know, our electric grids, which are kind of shaky. To begin with.

They -- they can't connect to all of this green energy.

They -- they -- they won't have the -- they won't have the capacity for -- for doing that.

STU: Oh, no?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: When did we address that?

I would assume after we live -- how many years of darkness?

We turn off the fossil fuels.

Well, the local grid will not be at capacity, when we turn off the fossil fuels.

So it will be okay. But we won't produce enough energy for us, to actually live. Let alone power our cars.

STU: Yeah. If adjust our life slightly. You know, maybe we don't leave the house.

GLENN: A little bit. A little bit.

STU: And more clothing in the winter, you know what I mean?

GLENN: Yeah. Wear a sweater. That's very, very American. You know what I mean?

STU: Yeah, people love that sort of advice.

Is this, Glenn, to bring back an Obama era term, an example of stray voltage?

Do you remember this concept?

It was the idea that the Obama administration tested widely on us.

As experiments, where they -- they would intentionally introduce a concept that was wildly out of the conversation. Right? Gas stoves should be banned.

Knowing -- and, in fact, depending on the controversy that would ensue, when that was introduced. Everyone will be like, wait. What the heck are you talking about?

And what would typically happen -- and this is essentially a way for them to convince their own side of something they would not normally do. But what would happen is of course, people on the right, Obama's enemies. Would say, wait. What are you talking about?

That's crazy. This is what this administration wants to do. And we would all get up in arms. And just by nature, the left would take the opposite side of that.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: All of a sudden, you would go from 0 percent support of getting gas stoves out of homes. To 40 percent support. Because all of a sudden, everybody -- it's -- you know, people like Glenn Beck, who on the left, they may not be as fond of you, as so many of us are.

GLENN: Really?

STU: They would look at you and say, well, if Glenn Beck is taking that other side, there must be something to -- to this idea.

And while they're sitting there, denying it, the whole time, that they even came up with it, they wind up going from zero percent support, to 40 percent support.

And then over time, it becomes this argument made now with people like AOC. It actually is a big health concern. It actually should go away.

How come you don't know that? And over time, it builds and builds and builds. Until their policy they wanted the whole time, is actually in place.

GLENN: Okay. So that used to be called the Overton window. But the Overton window did something slightly different.

The Overton window is this concept that you have a spectrum of ideas. And the window is this sane area.

And somebody will say, we have to ban all gas stoves. That's nowhere in the spectrum of ideas. That the window is now showing.

It's so far over, that the window, can't even see it.

But the argument pushes that window, because people start arguing about gas stoves. And then eventually, you get half of gas stoves, banned.

And they get that as their wind.

That's not what's happening here.

Because they're going to go for the total ban on gas.

In this article, they are talking about gas dryers. Gas heaters.

All gas appliances, gone. All of it. All of it.

That is the goal.

And so, they -- they don't want just half of it.

They want all of it. What's happening now. And I don't even know what you call it.

I call it the Lewinsky.

And it's something that we've talked about on this program, many times.

It's what happened to Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

The world is arguing -- the political world is arguing, he did it.

At the very beginning. And it's impeachable.

No. He didn't do it. He did it, and it's impeachable.

He didn't do it!

He did it, and it's impeachable. He didn't do it.

Then, after months of that, then the dress comes out.

And everybody now knows, he did it.

And the argument is, he did it, and it's impeachable.

Yeah. He did it, but it's no big deal.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Okay? That's what's happening.

STU: Uh-huh. Giving me flashbacks.

GLENN: Right. That's exactly what's happening.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Gas stoves are going to be banned. No, they're not.

Yes, they are.

No, they're not.

The next -- the very next argument is, gas stoves are being banned.

Yeah, they are. But they should be.

STU: Right. 100 percent.

GLENN: That's not an Overton window anymore.

STU: Stray voltage is a way to move the Overton window, so you get the Lewinsky.

GLENN: Is that what stray voltage is?

STU: I think you have heard it. We have talked about it years ago. It was something -- I think -- I want to say the first person I ever heard talk about it, was Major Garrett, who was talking about the Obama administration years and years ago.

And it was just this idea of introducing these things intentionally. You would think, the gas stove thing did not work short-term for the Biden administration. Right?

It was something rejected by a lot of people. Over half. It was not a close call. But it introduced it into the ecosphere.

And while they got that -- that pushback, initially, for the controversy on it. And they had to come out and deny it and do their dances.

Over a long period of time, they got a wind there. Because they will move the Overton window.

And all of a sudden, conversation is about, well, maybe we should be banning them. Let's look at the evidence. Let's bring that to the conversation. And eventually, it gets to the point where they say, yes! We do want them banned, and it's a good idea.

And that's essentially that movement that we talked about. This is a bunch of terms we're just combining here. It does work. This is what they do all the time.

GLENN: Yeah! It's what they did with socialism.

Remember? Newsweek. Was it Newsweek or U.S. News & World Report?

I remember distinctly, we did a story on it, on my Fox news show.

And it said, we're all socialists now. It was right after the election of Barack Obama.

And I held that up. And I said, they are admitting, that they are socialists. That we're all socialists now.

And the media went crazy. And called me a racist.

STU: A racist. Which doesn't make any sense.

GLENN: They don't deny socialism now. They don't deny it. It's what they were.

This is -- this is something so critical, that we -- it's why I'm asking you to call this hour. And just take a list.

I don't need to talk to them necessarily, on the air. But take a list of all of the things, people are calling about.

What are the things that they have said, the media and the government has said, is not true. For instance, we found out, that, oh, now the department of energy agrees with the FBI. That it looks like it was a lab leak.

All of the things that they have discredited and punished people. It's not that these things are -- are -- you know, just mistakes.

Oh, they got it wrong. People get things wrong all the time. We get things wrong.

This is things that they lied about, and punished anyone for saying.

And now, once they all start to become true, and they admit it, we have to hold those people responsible.

Because they have caused great damage and great pain.

And not just to the people, that canceled. But to the republic itself!

That has caused the division.

What is the division? We can't even agree on -- we can't even agree on vaccines. We can't even agree on -- no. We can't.

Why? Because you won't have a conversation about anything other than your way or the highway.

That's divisive. So when you're canceling people, because we're saying, hey, this is a problem.

And you cancel people, because they say that, and then later come back and go, yeah. That was right.

But -- but what?

Are you going to check yourself?

Are you changing your -- your -- the way you do business?

The way you look for truth?

They're not.

But we should.

Exposing the dangerous roots of queer theory

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question?

They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family. This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

SHOCKING: Glenn Beck Interviews 'Detransitioner' Deceived by Doctors

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
